Settling the Colonies: Step-by-Step Activities to Help Children Experience Colonial America as They Draw Maps, Create Timelines, and Hold a Colonial ... Activities for 5th Grade Teachers)

By Dr. Priscilla H. Porter

Colonial America is big part of American history! Children use print and digital sources and document their evidence as they learn the reasons for the founding of the colonies and the key people involved; the influence of geography and the physical setting on the founding of the colonies; religious practices and allegiances; daily life; major occupations and the goods produced; and, the impact on American Indian groups. Each lesson includes a variety of informative/explanatory writing activities, map-making, and constructing timelines. For the Colonial Job Fair, students receive an identity and an occupation and they must describe in detail the kind of work they do, the goods they produce, the steps required to complete their job, and the skills necessary to do the work. Costumes and props add to the fun. These easy step-by-step activities help kids learn, and more! This is the one curriculum guide every 5th grade teacher should have to help their students master the common core state standards for reading and language arts as they learn about the American Colonies.
